Posted this as response to something on the rumours page about RDM, just wanted to see if people on here agreed or disagreed.

I really don't think he has the ability to win us a league title. And before you all jump on my back, I love Roberto mainly because of how much he evidently loves the club, and obviously what he did for us as a player.

He has done a terrific job since taking over but tactically i don't think he is good enough for the job yet. He has made some very questionable team selections which have almost all worked out fortunately. Although he has been able to manage the team superbly I think our schedule over the past 2 months has helped with rotation due to games every 2-4 days. This has certainly helped boost moral of fringe players: kalou, malouda, bos, mikel. All should be sold.

Its no surprise who I want as manager, and still think he will come. He has finally won the La Liga and in doing so, has accomplished his goal of 3 titles in 3 different top European leagues. My no.2 for the job would be Joachim Low for sure. He has done terrifically with Germany and has shown a desire to play attacking football. He also loves developing youth.

Whatever happens I will either support RDM or thank him for bringing back the Chelsea spirit. 3-1 down Napoli win. 2-0 down Barcelona 10 men draw (win tie). Aston Villa 0-2, 2-2, 2-4 (fernando).

In Ed002 I Trust

His team management against newcastle and espicially liverpool was a discrace hes made some poor choices at times but hes a relativly inexperianced manager and had never tackeled anything at this level,all in all hes done a good job,love his passion for the club and celebrations,i dont think he will be given a chance,why go for someone new give him a year deal see how things go,at the end of the day hes done us proud and we have boosted his job offers to top team capability ,win win

Carefree

Hard to tell because RDM had to rotate the squad so much after taking over...basically his entire tenure as coach was playing matches every 4-6 days. I'd like to say he would've gotten us a top 4 finish had he'd been manager from the start of the season...but who knows. My heart is telling me his passion (and history with) for the club makes him the perfect manager...but I'm still not sure.

RDM has hardly put a foot wrong, Liverpool game I would have sent out the same squad he did,some people on here have mentioned that his selections have been a bit suspect and that he got away with it, i disagree if Mouriniho had done in the short space of time and under the same circumstances what he has done we would be praising his football genius. if/when we win Saturday RDM had done something no one else has been able to do with Chelsea surely that alone deserves we and the board back the guy and give him the contract he has earned and deserves before other clubs come knocking on his door.

Di Matteo isn't the man for the job and by no means is the insinuating that he has done a poor job! He just isn't experienced enough to take this job on with all that I required in the next four, plus, years!

I look at the job Jurgen Klopp ha done at Dortmund and the team he has built and I can only really see positives, winning that league is no easy feet! He would be top of my list but admitadly it would be a risk; plus I can't see him leaving Dortmund this summer! Mourinho is staying in Madrid; he will want another run at the Champions League next season; that a non starter!

Low would be a really positive move for me, as you say he isn't afraid to give talented youth a chance and always plays positive attacking football!

Surewould

Cups hes been brilliant, league poor. decision to defencive againt city, castle and pool, we were lucky against stoke & wigan, 2 draws at arse n yids poor performances very poor! BLUEBOY1

How can you possibly compare Mourinho and RDM? Mourinho was and still does manage RM when AVB got the sack. If we play your hypothetical game and say Mourinho came in when AVB got sacked. He would get the praise of 'his football genius' because he has proven a number of times he is capable of winning numerous leagues, european cups and domestic trophies. Compare the CV with RDM.

A club legend and I love the man but he is not capable of leading us forward IMO. If he gets the full time job I will be 100% behind the bloke and will then only refer to him solely by 'his football genius'.

I have an overwhelming feeling ed002 is on the shortlist.

-----------------Cech-----------------
VDW--------Luiz-------Cahill-------Cole
----------Fellaini-------Ramirez--------
Di Maria----------Mata-------------Hulk
-----------------Falcao---------------

Could be a good team for nxt season

Very, very unlikely. I doubt Di Maria and Falcao will join.

Gotta play Torres next season with better wingers and a proper creative midfield spark

Marin will probably start at LW, and I want to see us sign Modric, Moutinho or another effective deep-lying playmaker

This is my HOPEFUL team for next year:

GK: Cech
RB: Azpilceuta
CB: Cahill/Luiz
CB:Terry
LB: Cole

DM: Fernando
CM: Ramires
AM: Mata

RW: Hulk
ST: Torres / Higuain
LW: De Bruyne/ Marin

Subs: Mikel / Sturridge / Ivanovic / Bertrand / Lampard

COME ON THE CHELS!!! I think saturday could be the day our club makes history

Also we should stick with Robbie if he has a good season next season he will be talked about in the same breath as AVB and Jose were when they first started as a young potentially great manager!

Prefer Marin to De Bruyne, Marin seems a better player. Personally I would send De Bruyne on loan to another prem club or to the French league

Hi Ed002, Will Chelsea target winning the Premier League Championship next season or will they accept a top 4 finish? {Ed002's Note - All teams will target winning the championship.}

any interest in danillo from Porto?

Great young player but him and rami in the middle would leave us weak on defence there

Carefree

Danilo is a right back not a midfielder

LOLZZZ

Nah hes a midfielder hes filling in at right back
LOLZ!
Carefree

Danilo played right back for Santos and Porto ,, i read on the internet that he can play in midfield as well. he is certainly a RB for a start.

I can understand people wanting to see Drogba and Torres up top with Mata playing behind them on Saturday. However Bayerns biggest threat comes from out wide via Robben and Riber; these two will need to be managed and width in midfield is surely a must as far as this is concerned!

Their defence are weak at their best and thr missing a few defencive players
